Pregnancy Monitoring Using Mobile Application
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this Randomized Controlled Trial is to compare the health condition of pregnant women through pregnancy monitoring in the implementation of pregnancy class. The main question it aims to answer are:
How is the condition of the mother and baby after pregnancy monitoring using the REST mobile application (Risk identification, Evaluation counseling, Systematic monitoring, Trobleshooting)
Participants will be monitored for the condition of their pregnancy from 20 weeks of pregnancy until delivery. Participants will attend in the pregnancy class as many as 3 meetings and a pregnancy check-up by the midwife.
Researchers will compare intervention group to see if normal delivery methods, birth weight of the baby (>2500), antenatal care visits (>6 times), and prevention of pregnancy complications were better than the control group.

Detailed Description
The research will involve pregnant women and midwives. The midwife will conduct a pregnancy check-up which includes 10 pregnancy checks (height and weight, blood pressure, upper arm circumference, uterine fundus height, Tetanus immunization, Fe tablets, fetal presentation and fetal heart rate, counseling, laboratory tests, case handling). The examination is carried out every class meeting of pregnant women. The results of the examination will be inputted into the mobile application. Pregnant women will fill in the mobile application if the mother does antenatal care at a health facility. This activity will last until the mother's delivery.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Intervention Group Pregnant women and midwives will use the REST (Risk identification, Evaluation counseling, Systematic monitoring, Troubleshooting) mobile application to monitor the condition of maternal pregnancy. Mothers and midwives will implementation 3 times of pregnancy class until mothers give birth |
Device: mobile application REST (Risk identification, Evaluation counseling, Systematic monitoring, Troubleshooting)
The mobile application will be installed on the mobile phone. The application is used to monitor pregnant women. Users of the application are midwives and pregnant women. The application contains documentation of the health condition of pregnant women.
|
| No Intervention: Control Group Pregnant women and midwives will conduct pregnancy monitoring as usual. The pregnancy class will be implemented in accordance with government program standards. Mothers will take pregnancy class 3 times until the mother gives birth |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Reduced incidence of pregnancy complications in the mother [20 weeks gestational age until delivery]
Pregnancy complications are measured using a mobile application by looking at the history of the mother's health condition. Possible complications such as pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, hypertension in pregnancy, and anemia
- Increased childbirth by normal methods [20 weeks gestational age until delivery]
The delivery method can be seen using the mobile application in the labor report section. Delivery will be reported by the midwife regarding the method used for childbirth including the results of filling out the partograph
- Reduced incidence of low birth weight babies [20 weeks gestational age until delivery]
The baby's birth weight is measured using baby scales and it is expected that the baby's birth weight is more than 2500 grams
- Antenatal care for pregnant women more than 6 visits [During pregnancy]
Antenatal care by mothers can be measured by the number of visits to health facilities for pregnancy check-ups. Each visit will be recorded on the mobile application starting from the first visit
